International Mobile Insights

SMS — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:25:42 +0000

Innovation in the mobile industry is moving faster than ever before. One quick look at a stock value report from Apple (iPhone) or Google (Android) demonstrates the huge shift in the mobile market place. The advent of Smart phones has seen the rise of a new school of high powered devices and the game has changed forever.

Whilst the focus is on enhancing technology, many businesses are also seeing ways to leverage what's already in place. Smart companies are extending their mobile strategy to incorporate existing technology and implement mobile as an intrinsic part of their strategy.

Brands see the potential to inform their customers with the same immediacy that they've come to expect in all facets of life. More targeted messaging has seen the trend for SMS spam, slowly wilt away.

To demonstrate immediacy and reach, look no further than India, where every Rikshaw driver has a mobile, maybe even two, and most would not have a fixed line internet connection.

For any brand looking to find the best and most effective way to communicate with their audience, SMS really is a powerful communication tool.

So in the coming year, Nokia will excite with NFC technology and the launch of high end devices such as the Windows Phone powered Lumia. The iPhone 5 will keep the Apple name in the mobile media spotlight and the rise of Android devices such as HTC and Samsung's Galaxy Note will prevail.

Amidst the hype, new releases and excitement surrounding the 'new', it's worth remembering you can still make an impact by leveraging the power of mobile as we know it today.

Tisha Lazaro, business creator and proprietor of Mommy Cat, an online children’s designer wear store, spoke highly of the initiative, “I was thrilled to be selected as the first business who qualified for the 1,000 free SMS.

My, how mobile messaging has transformed the way we connect

SMS — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:36:27 +0000

Melbourne, Australia – 18 November 2011
Profiling customer mobile innovations, mobile messaging experts SMSGlobal, continue down the spotlighting track.

“Spotlighting is a means of bringing our customers together and profiles not only individuals but mobile innovations as a whole, demonstrating different mobile messaging uses and highlighting our customers’ mobile way of thinking,” said Carl Krumins, CEO.

When asked why the company felt spotlighting would be something which SMSGlobal’s customers would be interested to partake in, Krumins responded that “We felt creating a forum to highlight the diverse use of SMS was an important way of bringing real life SMS examples into the businesses and homes of our customers”.

“The immediacy and relevance brought to customers via their mobile handsets is one of the strongest ways to engage in meaningful communication with those you want to build closer relationships with”.

“Confirming what we’ve suspected all along, direct debit company Ezypay recently released the findings of a survey showing that 86% of respondents had changed their mobile number once or never. What these research results tell us is that communicating via mobile means is actually more reliable than through any other communication medium – print, landline, email – all of which are examples which have a much higher likelihood of change”.
